Reading slump

I haven't been blogging because... I am busy with work and school but all the more because I haven't read anything since I don't know when.

I am certainly in total reading slump. This is the worst ever. Back then, I can't stand not reading even a page a day, but nowadays all I do is stare at my bookcase and wonder why I bought all those books and when will I ever read them? I even can't keep track of all the new books I bought. My phone showed indicative signs as well - it has been suggesting that I delete my Goodreads app since I don't use it at all, I actually did and then I knew... This. Is. BAD.

And so here I am, wishing for my zeal to come back.

I have plans. I've written them all down in my planner. I also asked a friend to read a book with me, Murakami, hitting two birds at one stone, why not? I haven't read my sole Murakami book and my friend haven't tried his hands in buddy reading.

I also looked back on past experiences. I remember that one book that lifted me from the reading slump quicksand was listening to Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn so I tried to search the interwebs for something like Gone Girl and The Girl on a Train is one of the top hits. I searched for a copy, but just can't find any and then, I remember my Scribd subscription which made everything so convenient since they are offering the audio book for free - for my subscription, that is.

So far, I am liking it. And as some of you know, I am a perrenial polygamist when it comes to reading. Along with TGoaT, I'm finishing The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl by Melissa Keil.
